We are reporting to you live from Central Park. We see many participants who are getting ready to run the marathon. The spectators are anxiously awaiting the beginning of this sports event. The athletes are trying to relax, smiling. Here, to my right, you can see volunteers who are work-ing hard, distributing bottles of water to the runners. The camera operators and reporters from Channel 1 are working hard to inform the viewers. Upon hearing the signal, the runners are leaving, smiling again to our cameras. And as you (Uds.) can observe, I am following the runners of this marathon from the Channel 1 van, bringing (to) you the latest news. Continue watching this special program on your favorite channel, Channel 1.
